Happy tail alert! Gorgeous Ginger, a deaf 10 to 11-year-old poodle/terrier mix, was rescued by our grant recipient, Virginia Beach SPCA, after her owner died and there was no one to care for her. An exam revealed Ginger’s health had been neglected. She was heartworm positive and had a tumorous growth that needed to be removed. Her coat was dirty and matted, and she was in severe need of dental work. A Grey Muzzle grant paid for her medical expenses and when her health makeover was complete, Ginger was ready to be adopted. Ginger’s online pictures immediately fetched attention, leading to an encounter with her future parents, Nikki and Julie. They had recently lost a dog and were contemplating getting another pup when they spotted Ginger’s photo on Facebook. They immediately fell in love, crediting social media for bringing them together. Julie and Nikki couldn’t be happier with her and emphasize that she is “set for the rest of her life!” Give new beginnings for senior dogs like Ginger in 2015.
